THE GRADY NONSENSE.
of men.

The editor of the Philadelphia Event. g
Bulletin writes to the New York Herald
concerning Grady for the vice-presidency'
that he is a southern man with northern
ideas. and that in the north he would be
true blue republican. The fact Is 1t Is
lust as well for this Grady foolishness 70
stop now as later. 1t is well known
that Grady is part of scheme of the pro-
tectionists of the east TO carry their
noint. There is too much new south"
about Grady. If they give US anybody,
let us look around among such men as
Carlisle, Beck, Vance, General Lee, of Vir
ginia; Wade Hampton, General Buckner,
of Kentucky; or Coke, of Texas. We
want no protectionist, whether from the
north or the south.
The whole Grady boom, from his post
prandial harangue to the recent fulsome
adulation in the Herald, appears to be
slick little job put up by the cunning
New England protectionists. 1t won't
work. Southern democrats are not fools
Just how much protection gold has gone
into the Herald's Golfer on account of the
said boom, it were hard to say.

j. FRANK FARRELL.
Death of an Old Texas Newspaper
man, at Denver, Colorado.

The following announcement, clipped
from the New Orleans Times Democrat,
will be read with sorrow by all of the
newspaper boys who were in harness
back in the seventies, and who knew the
subject of this sketch and admired him
for his many genial and excellent traits of
character. Frank was a clever and spicy
writer, and after his retirement from the
ranks of Bohemia he was equally
prominent in that other branch of the
clan, the world theatrical. Some of his
best work in this line was his manage
ment of John L. Raymond through three
southern tours, in which he "coined
money for tpat versatile and accom-
plished artist. 1t is somewhat of coin
cidence that death should have claimed
both him and his old andfavorite star with
in so short a time; Mr.. Raymond having
passed into the beyond only about
month ago. Mr.. farrell, while in Hous-
ton, was an active member of the
old Light Guard and always
took great pride in the successes
of the command. He was also an aid de-
camp ON the staff of Governor R. B. Hub
bard.
The following is the sketch from the
IlmeS-DemOcrat
Yesterday telegram to Capt. Charles
Drown, of the Continental Guards, dated
at Denver, Col, brought the sad news of
the death of j. Frank Farrell, so well
known and esteemed here.
Mr.. Farrell was born in Nashville, Tenn,
some thirty-two years ago. He came to
this city when quite young, and was en-
ployed in an express Office with Mr.. Small,
the father of the we'll known Frank and
Sam Small. He was subsequently trans
ferred to Houston, Texas, where he tired
of the express business and embarked in
journalism on the Houston Telegram.
When Major 7. L. Davis was made city
editor of the New Orleans Times, Frank,
as he was generally called, returned to the
city of his adoption and obtained posi-
ton under Major Davis on the Times.
Subsequently he embarked IN the threat
rical business, and being naturally
bright soon became one of the best
known agents on the road.
Then ne became manager for the
Frohman's and travelled with the Madison
Square companies. He was here with
Judic season before last, but even then it
was evident to his friends that his health
was failing. Illness forced him to give
up his engagement to manage Louis
James and Marie Wainwright, and after
remaining here he went to Denver, where
he had the good fortune to meet kind
friends in Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. W. McKintze,
at whose house he remained until he was
claimed by death.
Mr.. Farrell was a most energetic mem
Der of the Continentals, and managed
them on their tour through the north.
While at the very brink of the grave he
never forgot his comrades at home, and
on April 25 sent the following pathetic
dispatch:
April %.
Very low; doctor says chances are even. If
worse comes should like to be buried by the boys
IOonunenual) at home. FRANK FARRELL.
Capt. Brown yesterday, Immediately
on the receipt of the information of Far
rell's death, telegraphed to Mr.. McKintze
to forward the remains at once. As soon
as the body arrives it will be buried with
military hOnors oy the Continentas.

DEMOCRACY.

The Courier-J ournal is very earnest in
commencing the platform recently
adopted by the democrats of Kentucky.
The editorial is a good democratic SER
mon, and it is partly reproduced:
about the meaning of this Kentucky
platform there can be no dispute. II
appeals, not to the prejudices of men
but to their intelligence. II is free from
all double meaning, and is expressed In
language that all may understand. On all
questions of the hour it is plain, direct
and specific. 1t antagonizes the growing
spirit of paternalism, which a small
body of men in the north are trying to
clo,he in scientific garments, and pro-
tests against the extension of the powers
of government over the private concerns
of the people. 1t commends the course
of the president; it defines the meaning
of civilservice reform; it opposes federal
aid to education and all kindred iniqui.
ties, and on the tariff uses the following
language:
ave denounce the present war tariff, laid to con
fuse IA we'll as to harHss the people, as a master
piece of Injustice, inequality and false pretsnse
of protection, which robs the many TO enrich
few. IL has piled up in the national treasury
surplus which menaces the prosperity of all classes
and every industry. We demand the immediat,
reduction Of this war tariff not merely as an act OF
redress to the people promised by all parties, On
az the only safe and just method of reducing tht
lrplus: and in making such reduction, we demand
further that the taxes shall first b. abolished or low
cred upon the necessaries of life; and, finally, we
reaesert the constitutional and democratic doctrine
that taxes should be levied exclusively for public
purposes, and limited 10 the requirements of the
government economically administered"
In this platform one may read the fu.
ture course of the party. With two ex'
ceptions all the speeches made during the
convention land they were as eloquent Ms
they were numerous) echoed the senti-
ments expressed in the resolutions, show
ing that ON these great issues there is nc
division among the democrats of Ken
lucky. Upon this platform the demo
cratic party can sweep the country; with
anything less than this victory would have
little value

CONDUCT OF THE CAMPAIGN.

The Fort Worth Gazette in an editorial
in it's Sundays issue, very properly coun-
sells moderation and fair, honest discus
sion in this campaign. The more so as
it is canvass of that description which
tends, more than an ordinary political
campaign, to engender personal animosi
ties between neighbor and neighbor- one
that is calculated to inflame the public
mind. Both sides should remember that
all of us are Texans, interested in the
welfare of the state and its progress.
However much we may differ as to the
means, we are all working for the same
end. Another thing, there is hereafter,
and nothing should be said in this contest
that will be regretted when the August
election is over, and the question
definitely settled by the people them
selves. Let the whole subject of
prohibition be thoroughly investigated in
all Its bearings and phases, but let it be
done logically, coolly, reasonably, with
out appeals TO prejudice or to passion.
Above all, LET us eschew personalities, too
much of which has already cropped out in
the campaign.
No matter for what Interior purposes, or
in what manner, or whether wisely or I'M
wisely, prohibition has been sprung in

would not be much of a rally now. There
is another thing which must be consid-
cred. The republican party is party of

II think not. The republicans will per-
haps throw sop TO the prohibitionlsts,

party will maintain its organization, and,

that it will injure the democracy"

position as one of the democratic state

much issue may be taken with his con-
illusions.

TOBACCO AND OPIUM.

If the design and wish of the prohibi
tionists are to prevent their fellow men
and themselves from using that which is
deeterious to mind or body, then they
whisky-one of the most powerful and
dangerous narcotic poisons. The effects on
the system, while less marked, are more
insidious than brandy or whisky, and
medical writers on the subject assert that
tobacco, when least suspected as the cause
of ill health, carries, probably and proDor-
tionately, as many victims to their long
homes, as does alcohol. Both, scientifically
considered, come under the same head-nar-
cotics. Why should the prohibitionists be
guilty of the inconsistency of suppressing
one narcotic and shutting their eyes to
another equally dangerous, and also of
general use.
Again, they pass by opium-auother
narcotic-also coming into use among the
people-a drug, the effects of whose
habituaI use is far more terrible and
destructive of mind and body than whisky
or tobacco; whose use is alarmingly in
creasing, as shown by the records of i'm
portation into this country, and to which
both sexes are falling victims. And it is
opium that is destined to take the place
of alcohol, if the latter is finally and
utterly banished. To have been consist
ent the paternalists of this state should
have included the great narcotic trio
alcohol, opium and tobacco-in the pro-
posed amendment. But they have not
done so. Why? They certainly have as
much right to prevent us chewing tobacco
as taking social glass of good old Texas
wine. And the propriety and reasonable
ness in both cases would be the same.

DUBUQUE, To-, Oct. "a mass meet
ing was held at the Opera house this
evening, addressed by Hon. L. S. Coffin,
one of the railroad commissioners of the
state, the object of which was to arouse
public sentiment, so that it will demand
a greater Show of justice to railroad en-
ployes and compel railroad companies
to equip cars with safety appliances
and to secure to these men Sunday ex-
emptiOn from labor. Mr.. Csffin was one
of the commissioners lately here to in
vestigate the collision of September
10, in which no less than five employees
of the company were killed. The COM
mission will obtain all the facts it can
and at the conclusion submit its report
to the governor. Mr.. Coffin hopes by
agitation of the subject to SO arouse pub
lie sentiment as to induce the legisla-
ture at its coming session to enact such
laws as will guard the lives and insure
the greater safety of empl Dyes, The
clergy was well represented. Several
pastors closed their churches, urging
their congregations to attend and made

to prevent any unnecessary work on

SCORED THE POLICE.
The New York Progressive Labor
Party ssOn Its Ear

New YORK, Oct. 9.-The trouble with
the police at the Progressive Labor
party meeting Saturday night restored
the wrangling factions of the Central
Labor union to at least temporary har-
mOny at their meeting to-day. Delegate
Hawkes., printer, who is pronounced
George man, offered resolutions de-
nOuncing the police for interfering at
the union square meeting, and they
were seconded by several George men.
Delegate Hayburn, in speaking on the
resolutions, said that the circumstances
which had brought about the Chicago
Haymarket bomb throwing were identi-
cal with those that precipitated
last nights onslaught upon the peacea-
bly, assembled WOrkingmen of New
York. The resolutions first offered
were not deemed sufficiently strong and
they were rewritten and unanimously
adopted. They declared that the meet
ing on Union square had been called to
discuss political questions: that it was
peaceable meeting; that it had been
interrupted by the police in brutal
and unwarranted manner; that such
action on the part of the police was apt
to bring about state of affairs when
citizens would be compelled to repel
such brutal attacks by unlawful means
rights, and that the action of the
police must be condemned, as
they had, instead of protecting
peaceable citizens, infringed upon their
rights and provoked bloody riot. A
committee was appointed to present the
resolutions to the board of police COM
missiOners. p. II. Cumming, candidate
of the United Labor party for state
treasurer, made speech denOuncing
the action of the police and asserting
that workingmen must stand together
against the common enemy, the capital
lists. The German Fresco Painters
union, which was suspended at the last
meeting. was reinstated. The lockout
of the braSSwOrkerS was discussed, and
they were assured of the Central Labor
Unions support. The new scale of Typo
graphical Union No. 6, which goes into
effect tomorrow, was indOrsed.
